Set and costume design for my MA final performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Don Giovanni Act I, Barber of Seville Act II & Marriage of Figaro Act II. Directed by Sarah Crisp. Sherman Theatre Main Space, March 2021. The performance was put on under COVID conditions.
I collaborated closely with Danny Vavreka the lighting designer in order to develop the suspended light towers and work out how best they should relate to the overall design.
Mood boards for each opera & act
Act 1: Inspired by the Studio 54 Club
Act 2: Inspired by the Godfather Films
Act 3: Inspired by cocktail lounge bars
